Click Next to go to the next screen. Enter Discounts, Tax, or Shipping and Handling, if any. If your purpose is to bill your customer’s credit card regularly, check Auto-BillPay and enter your customer’s credit card information (including billing address):

If you don’t have your customer’s credit card information, you can leave Auto-BillPay unchecked. The system will simply send invoices to your customer on a regular basis. Your customer will have the option to sign up for Auto-BillPay when paying for the invoice online.

Save Draft – this will simply save the recurring invoice and won’t be processed by the system.

Activate – this will save and activate the recurring invoice so that it will be processed by the system

Activate & Send First Invoice – this will save, activate and send the first invoice to your customer. If your recurring invoice is Auto-BillPay, it will create the first invoice and charge your customer’s credit card automatically.

Prorated Amount

When your recurring invoices all start on a certain date, i.e. start of the month, and your customer signs up in the middle of the month, you may want to charge a prorated amount from the date they signed up to the start of the month. To do that, simply check the box called Add Prorated Amount On Next Invoice. When the box is checked and the first invoice is generated, a line item will be added to the invoice containing the prorated amount.

Miscellaneous Settings
